Thursday! THIS Thursday.



That's ccording to Onur, who is the manager.



Anyone else gives an answer, unless it's Cemal the owner, then they're speculating!

Its a PUPPET! Remember whose catchphase that was?



It is a take-away, but like the other Dragon Take-aways, they have a few tables and chairs, where you can eat your take-away. Paper plates, plastic cutlery or chop sticks, little sachets of soy sauce, but no glasses for your drinks.



Its just that you have taken it away, but not very far.



What about people who go to a Macdonalds drive-thru, then sit and eat their meal in the car in the car park? Very strange.

Due to unexpected permit problems. For example not the correct permit for the type of rice being used or something just as important, The Dragon will now be opening this Saturday.



If the powers to be decide that the guys doing the cooking need a special permit to use a wok, the opening may be delayed once again.



I do not think a metal handed wok needs a special permit, but I am afraid that these chefs use woks with wooden handles.

Went last night for a takeaway, the best chinese I have had on the island, really fantastic, a little on the pricey side but well worth it.

Just been there and opening times are: 12 - 3 Then 5-10 everyday but closed Mondays with exception of tomorrow....



We just ordered: 1 sweet sour chicken, 1 schezuan chicken, 1 chicken noodle, 1 chicken fried rice, 1 prawn crackers,

2 beers = 79 tl



Staff very friendly, polite, speak english and establishment was sparkly clean



Hubby and i shared noidles and rice, i thought plenty but for price hubby wanted more of everything.

My personal opinion - not enough sauce on either of the main dishes so need to order extra in future, tasted very nice but due to it being to dry for my taste spoilt the experience. Will I go back? I love my chinese but i can not honestly say it was worth what i paid..........

we just had a take-away from there, it was ok, a bit dry and not enough flavour. a bit pricey for a take away here but probably what you would expect to pay in uk for a chinese. will give them another try at a later date as everyone deserves a second chance...wish them every success, we all know how difficult it is to make a go of a business here.
